' fece against winds of this direction,l and the Wind not being allowed to blovv against the under side of the roof, the tendency to overturn or collapse the structure is much less than with winds blowing into the house and beneath the roof. The valve readily releases destructive Winds and prevents entrance of those Which will generally be undeA lllrile l have shown my invention in an approved form itis evident that various modifications as to proportion. may be had without departure from the invention. lt will be found that the arrangement shown and described may be conveniently varied by allowing the longer roof slope to extend to the ground, dispensing With the side Wall for that side of the structure, or only extending it upward sufficiently to have the roof above Whatever plants may be disposed in the house.

Having described my invention what l claim is 1. In a structure of the class described, a roof with two slopes,Y one Wider than the other, a removable covering for the Wider slope, and a platform along the side ol' the y structure adjacent to the narrower slope.

2. In a structure of the class described, a roof With two slopes, one Wider than the other, a removable covering of textile material for the 'wider slope permanently attached along the junction between the two slopesand capable of being drawn over and beyond the eaves of the narrower slope.

3. In a structure of the class described, a roof with two slopes, one wider than the other, a removable covering of textile material for the Wider slope attached to the structure along the line of junction of the two slopes and capable of overlying and extending .beyond the eaves ol' the narrower slope when retracted from the Wider slope.

4. in a structure of the class described, a roof With two slopes, one Wider than the other, removable covering of textile inaterial and formed as a unit for the wider slope attached to the structure along the line of junction of the two slopes and capable of overlying and extending considerably beyond the eaves of the narrower slope when retracted from the Wider slope.

5. in a roof for greenhouses and the like, tivo slopes, one Wider than the other, and a textile covering for the wider slope capable of overlying and extending beyond the .eaves vof the narrower slope when retracted from its normal position over the wider slope, said covering attached to the roof frame yalong the junction belt-.veen the tivo slopes.

6. ln a greenhouse, a portion of one Wall thereof provided with a covering attached 8. ln a structure of the class described, a L

series of roof frames connected. by a common ridge member', a common ridge member, a removable covering of textile material attached along said ridge member and capable of Withdrawal from the portion of the roof normally covered thereby so as to lie upon the adjacent portion of the roof and extend below the same.

9. ln a structure of the class described, a plurality of roof frames, a common ridge member connecting the saine and dividing the roof into a wide and a narrower slope, a removable covering of textile material normally covering the wider slope and attached along the ridge member and capable of being folded bach over the narrower slope and beyond the eaves thereof to form a portion of the side Wall.

10. ln a structure of the class d ascribed, a

safety valve against excessive Wind pressure of a portion of its roof covering withdrawn from its normal position and hanging down against braces against Wind pressure from without and free to move outwardly under Wind pressure from within.

13. ln a greenhouse, an opening in the Wall thereof, a shelf l ngod to the wall near the lower edge of said opening and adapted to close said opening, and a flczuble covering su1,. portcd frein above said opening and braced against wind pressure from 'without but free to more under the influence of -wind pressure Within said greenhouse.

14. ln a greenhouse, an opening in the Wall thereof, a platform hinged along the lower edge of said opening and adapted to lill Il l. 0

lill) close Said opening but normally supported in an approximately horizontal iesition, braces normally supporting said p atlorm, and a flexible coyering for said opening normally supported over the saine and free to move under the influence of wind pressure from Within the greenhouse.

15. In a greenhouse, a portion of the side wall Connected by hinges to the remaining portion and capable of forming a platform along the level of the top of such remaining lportlon, and a flexible covering normally supported over the opening caused by with` drawal of' the platform.

16. In a greenhouse, a portion et' the wall thereof covered by a textile fabric attached aboveand free to move under the influence l i l l of wind pressure from Within but braced against Wind pressure from without and a shelf along the lower side of the portion of Wall so covered.

17. ln a greenhouse, an opening in the wall thereof, a covering for said opening attached above said opening and braced against wind pressure from without the greenhouse but free to move outwardly, and a shelf beneath. the loweiI edge of said opening.

Witness my hand this 22nd day el Deceni ber, 1908.
